Leicestershire County is rich with history and still provides the typical ‘Big City’ experiences. The city of Leicester is one of the few cities in England that can trace its history back to the Iron Age; the museums here provide tours taking you from ancient times up to modern day. After mapping out the past, head over to the High Street for some up-to-date shopping. While in Leicestershire be sure to visit the Twycross Zoo, Stanford Hall, Belvoir Castle, and The National Space Centre. Young and old alike will enjoy a visit to Leicestershire.
